This invention relates to a garment of the. slitted front, slip-on sweater type designed primarily for children, but it is to be understood that a garment, in accordance with this invention'caln be constructed of any size desired, and the invention has for its object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a garment for coldweather wear having its body portion constructed from a shaker stitch to provide selvage edges to overcome the necessity of overlapping the edges of the slit when the latter is closed under such conditions preventing a bulgy appearance at the front of the garment.

A further object of the invention is to pro-- vide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a garmentfor cold weather wear constructed and arranged to include a reinforced front acting as proof against cold when the' garment isworn.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner-as hereinafter set forth, a sl-itted frontgarment having coacting buttons and loops to detachably secure the edges of the slit'in abutting engagement, and further with the body of the garment constructed from a shaker stitch to provide selvage edges, under such conditions overcoming the use of stoling at or the hemmingback of the edges of the slit. g v

A further object of the invention is'to provide, in a manner as hereinafterset forth a slitted front garment of theslip-on sweater type having its body portion constructed from a shaker stitch to provide selvage edges at the slit, and to further provide the gar-- ment with coacting means on the front there 1 front of the of whereby the edges of the slit can be detachably connected together in abutting posi-- tion from the bottom to the top of the slit to satisfactorily close the latter throughout without impairing" the appearance of the arment. Further o jects of the inventionv are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a garment for .cold weather wear having its body portion constructed from a shaker stitch and with the garment simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, attractive in appearance, warm and comfort able when worn, proof against cold,.ha-ving a slitted front for convenient'positioning on the wearer, expeditiously closed at its front lungs, and comparatively inexpensive, to manufacture. VVith the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but itis to be'understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto'appended- In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1 is a front elevation of a garment, in accordance with this invention, with the edges of the slit at the front thereof in spaced relation relative to each-other.

protecting element or shield part 6 and a pair of Wrist bands or parts 7, 8 arranged at the outer ends of the sleeves 2, 3 respectively.

The said several parts and sleeves are of textile material formed from a suitable yarn Woven b a shaker stitch which provides sel vedge e g es. The Waist part 1 and sleeves 2, 3 are non-ribbed, butthe' collar, hip and wrist parts are woven to provide the same of alternately disposed ribs. The hip and wrist parts are of tubular form when completed, contracted, as well-as elastic to provide a snug fit when the garment is worn. The collar part is also elastic for snug fitting. The collar part is split and the end edges thereof form continuations of the end edges of the waist part. The hip part is inset with:

respect to the'waist part and the wrist parts are inset with respect to the sleeves. The hip part is woven flat and the ends. connected together by yarn of the same character as that employed to set up the hip part and when parts. As the top of the hip the ends of the latter are connected together the hip part is in the form of a tube. The top of the hip part ismonnected to the bottom of the waist part by yarn of the same character as that used for the waist and hip. art is somewhat smaller than the bottom -0 the waist part, when such parts are connected together the lower portion of the waist part tapers to wards the top of the hip part as at 8.

The .waist part is woven flat with a pair of openings 9. The lower portion of, the sleeves at the inner ends thereof is woven with the waist part, as at 10. The remaining portions of the inner ends of the sleeves are extended through the openings 9 and secured to the waist part, as at 11, by yarn of the same character employed for forming the waist part and sleeves. The connecting of the sleeves, in the manner as stated to the waist part provides ribs 12 at the outer ends of the shoulder parts 13 on the front and rear of the garment.

The ends of the waist part 1 are inturned for a portion of the length thereof. The inturned parts of said ends are indicated at 14 and extend from the 'hip part 4 to a point a substantial distance below the shoulder part 13. The inturned parts 1 1 are secured together by a stitching 15 of yarn of the same character as that employed for the waist part. The stitching-15 is arranged inwardly'of the \outer face of the waist part and extends through the bends formed by the inturned parts whereby the seam between said portions is concealed. The stitching 15 extends throughout the length of said inturned parts 14, and when the latter are secured to ether the lower portion of the waist part is of tubular form, and with no appearance of the seam at the front of the garment. See Figure 1.

Connecting theends of the waist part together in the manner as stated provides the front of the waist part from the upper ends of the inturned parts 14: with a slit 16 gradually increasing in width from its bottom to the collar part 5. The slit has selvedge edges.

. loop 21 The edges of the slit areindicated at 17, 18 and the end edges of the collar part 5 form continuations of the edges 17, 18.

The yarn in close proximity to the edge 17 is extended to provide a series of superposed aced loops 19 which project beyond edge 17.

ecured to the outer face of the waist part1 in proximity to the edge 18 is a series of super-v posed spaced buttons 20 which coact with the loops'19 for maintaining the edges 17, 18in abutting engagement to closeslit 16.

One end lar part 5 hasthe yarn extended to provide a other end edge of said fold to detaehably connect the collar in closed position about the neck of thewearer;

. ,The front of the waist part 1 adjacent the slit 16 is formed with an opening 23, providedge of the outer fold of thQCOlwhich coapts with a button 22 at thematerial as that of the waist part 1 and includes a pair of side edges, a top edge and a lower end edge. The shield part 6 is secured permanently throughout at one side and permanently throughout at its lower end to the inner face of the front of the waist part by yarn of the same character as that em loyed to provide the shield part and where y the top andother side of thelatter is free. A binderv25 is secured to the shield part 6 in proximity to its free side and top. A button hole 26 is formed in the part 6 at the free upper corner thereof and which associates with a button 27 to detachably secure the part 6 in position to extend across the slit 16.

By connecting the ends of the waist part 1 together in the manner as stated, it does not in any manner impair the appearance of the garment, and overcomes any bulging at the front thereof, which would be the case if the ends of the body portion were'arranged in overlapping position, especially when 'clos. ing the slit 16.

from a shaker stitch, selvage edges are provided, under such conditions it does not necessitate the employment of stoling at or the hemming back ofthe edges of the slit.

, It is thought the many advantages of achilds garment for cold weather wear, in accordance with this invention can be readily understood, and although the bodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, yet it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction can be had which fall tion as claimed.
